Free Thought,
Tho progro of free thought ha
Ihicii nearly nlmultaueou in all coun.
tries, ihoHit I hut entertain theProte
taut faith keeping pneo with tho rent,
In Catholic Franco and in Protontant
F.ngland, where public wornhlp In
curried on after certain p rone r I bod
form, ratlonallnm ha undermined
doetrlno without making serious iIIh
turbnnco at the surface. Tho churches
arc entabllnhed, and tho service goes
on regularly for the bono tit of those
who como to pnrtlclpato. In either
country do the educated memliers of tho
various congregations trouble them
selves profoundly regarding tho mean
lug of tho ritual which they read from
printed volume. In either country tho
number of church-goers 1 extremely
limited In proportion to tho population
that Ih, in thu largo cities, u consider
able pari of tho people In tho rural dis
trict find lug attemlaiico at church
more agreeable a furnishing soma re
lief from tho monotony of tho week.
Not one In a hundred a very moderate
estimate of the popul itloti of London
is seen In tho churches on Sunday. In
Paris It is rare, or at leant exceptional,
to sec a man of the middle classes or of
tho nobility In one of the churches, and
these exceptional visits seem usually to
ho duo to the presence of somo eloquent
preacher, tho occurrence of an Im
portant festival of tho church, or to the
stlmulous of some family allllctlon
vVhat Is true of these two countries is
true in a general way of Hpaln, Italy,
and Austria, though In Mm latter the
devotional spirit is a little more power
ful. Tho same may lie said in regard
ta tho religious association in tho Pno
testnut parts ef (lermany, though tho
young eniMiror to Ihi sincerely religious,
going so far even as to announce that It
1 only by religion that socialism can
bo successfully fought, and to uso his
inlhmnoo in placing tho public schis.ls
on a religion basis. One result of
this general neglect of tho churches Is
tho alliance of tho church everywhere
with tho connervatlvc element of tho
respective countries. In England
there are few clergymen comparatively
who do not lend their support to Iord
Salisbury, ofb n In a manner that is
neither decent nor honorable. In
Franco tho Catholic church has bo
como infuriated because tho republic
has secularized tho public schools, and
oppose tho present government by all
tho means at Its dlsonal. A few of tho
higher clergy, acting under tho counsel
of the po, have theoretically aeeop-
tort thing an they are, but tho hope ot
all are placed In the restoration of
royalty or Imperialism, Homo of tho
more zealous go no far ns to Htlginatlxn
the republican government as
"atheist," a reproach hardly merited,
since nearly all tho men In power,
though liberal In doctrine, are nomin
ally Catholic, or uro represented In
that church by their families. It was
that Austria and Germany might not
1st interfering In its quarrel with tho
pope in regard to the occupation of
Homo that Italy cumo Into the triple
alliance, A third of tho population of
Germany being Catholics, Mm German
government ban many dolleato ques
tion to adjust with the holy see that
relate to the appointment c,f church
dlgtuitarlos or to tho management of
schools. In Spain the inlluenco of the
Catholic church I always thrown on
tho side of tho extrcyie conservative
party, which uses this fcclcslsllcai
aid an It Is used In Franco, Italy, and
Germany, simply as a means to arrive
nt It own ends, though none, or very
few, of the statesmen availing them
selves of this assistance honestly accept
tho church dogmas. A regard the
history of free thought, it Is interesting
to remark that Its entering wedge was
Protestantism, and Mint tho Catholic
hierarchy foi-esaw that If the new
heresy was permitted, tho deluge of in
fidelity would rush in through the ojien

F.DlTCHt Amkkican. It i easy to sec
what makes tho Catholic clergy uneasy
when one of tho fold stray Into a K, 1
order, or any society outside that In
which tho confessional is tho nucleus
Thoso fraternal societies I don't be
long' to any throw out too many
avenunn leading to individual thought
and investigation. It 1 a matter, uf
general observation that thoso fra
ternal order are educator In liberal
Ideas nnd based on a doctrine broad
enough to take in tho whole "brother
hood of man." Every Btep in this
direction could but tend toward the
alienation of the masse from the
priestcraft. Trust the holy y father
for dUeernlng wherein lie danger to
their power, Tboy make no mistake.
They have a specific well defined and a
well followed purpose from which they
never swerve.
It would seem at a flrst glance that it
was a foolish light they are making
against our public school system, seeing
that it I the one paramount prlda of
our country. Upon casual thought It
would seem almostsulcldal to thu hope
and endeavor of any class to thu
boldly attack tho very foundation of
our free Institutions, Uut note tho
fact that they never showed tho cloven
foot In this matter until they saw with
tho unerring eye of past experience
that free school and Catholicism woro
wholly antagonistic, and can never
thrive in the same Roll,
Holcnco Is tho natural enemy of su
perstition, and no class of men recog
nize thl more clearly than do tho
Catholic priests, There Is not a doubt
in my mind but thoso crafty fellow
fully expect to receive valuable assist
ance from tho democratic party In the
near future, if the people of this coun
try oro fools enough to turn over gov
ernmental affair entirely Into their
hnmls.
Thl I the only rational basis upon
which I can account for their Isild
proclamations on tho evo of each presi
dential content. It 1 not much of a
compliment to the American people for
ono of the shrewdest, far-seeing organ
ization in this country, and one which
Is avowedly in favor of monarch lal gov
ernment, to corno out just before tho
lection of a chief magistrate, and
make a jKirslstent fight on our public
school system.
No other country could afford to
smile so coinplalsantly in tho face of
such avowal and threats, Tho ques
tion is CAN WK?, It. IllllTTON.

Elsewhere will be found on account
of the lettervalleged to have imen
written by President Harrison to tho
pojsi of Homo In relation to tho ap
pointing of a cardinal in thl couitry.
Americans should blush with shame at
the cowardice of President Harrison if
all Is true in thl case. How much
longer will they permit thl alien
church to dictate the policy of this
government in order that weak-kneed
men may bo elected to the higher
offices? It Is time for Americans to
step to the front and assert their
claims. Jkmtithik (fimntr.

It Is stated Mini limit's mellnsl was
lo js-rsuado his V let linn to buy county
right to sell a Iwnik cnllod "Footprints
of Time," taking a mortgage on the pur
chaser's farm, dwelling, store or Bbs-k
of gissls, as tho case might Is1, ono of
the conslderat Ions Isdng a large quan
tity of Isniks. As a general rule the
mortgage came duo without a corres
ponding income from the sale of bisiks,
and. the mortgage was foreclosed. No
extonnlon of time was allowed and
many a jsmr farmer or country mer
chant saw his homo, or land or stwk
of good pass from him. Great indig
nation was caused, and it, is said that
Hoot was constantly on his guard
against ism-soiio! injury. Carter was
faithful to Hoot throughout these deals,
and although but an employe, It is said,
know of and assisted his employer in
Mie business.
It is stated thatCartcrexpressed him
self dissatisfied with Hoot' methods
and that as sism as ho Carter had
made a little money ho would quit and
go west. This ho did about the time
Hoot closed up tho book business.
Thl wa about ton year ago. He pur
chased a small law library and went to
Helena, where ho was shortly after
ward admitted to the bar. Whllo in
Burlington, Carter was a rabid demo
crat and took a lively interest In politi
cal matters.. Upon arrival at Helena
ho lound that the great majority of thu
people of Montana were republicans
and Unman Catholics. Ha Joined tho
republican party and allied himself to
tho Homan Catholic parish and oon
became very popular among tho young
republican and Homan Catholic of
tho state. Hyhl sharp pushing skill
in political matters bo soon won for
himself a prominence that marked him
for political preferment. The result
was his election to congress as a dele
gate and then a senator, lie again
ran as senator in 18!i(), hut was defeated,
Emissaries of tho democratic party In
Montana were sent to this city in that
year to hunt up Mr. Carter' record, it
is supposed, to uso against him In tho
campaign. Hepubl leans in this city
are not saying much about Mr. Carter,
They feel that silence is probably tho
best policy. II 'orld-lkrald.

wo have not ono squniv Inch of nmi
for the annrohlnt, tho socialist and
nihilist, or for anyone w ho Is not w ill
lug to how allegiance to that flag which
Is siwerf ul enough to shield and priv
toot them as well as us, In the exercise
of all civil and religious liberty,
We affirm our devotion to the public
school system of this country. We bo
Hove In compulsory education, and that
all teaching in our schools should Iks in
the English language to the end that
future generations may bo able to take
their ploeo in tho rank of our country's
workers, educated in the history, tho
custom and manners of Americans.
Wo guaronteo to every man tho lib
erty of worshiping tied, according to
tho dictate of his own conscience, and
would give every assistance to protect
all in tho exorcise of hi liberty, but
wo object most strenuously to tho in.
torforcneo of any church, no matter
under what name it may exist, in tho
temporal affairs of this country.
Wo believe that tho Bible should bo
read in our public school, not to teach
sectarianism, but to Inculcate its teach
ings. It Is tho recognised standard of
all moral and civil law, we therefore
believe that our children should bo
educated in its teachings, but that no
dogma or creed should bo taught at tho
same time.
We believe that patriotism anil lovo
of country should lie instilled Into tho
heart of children, and that with tho
sacred word of "Mother, Homo and
Heaven," our children should bo taught
that our Hag In tho symbol of all that
make a "home" for us, We should
place a flag upon every public school In
our land, and a Bible within, and tho
object lesson therein sot forth should
bo a beacon light in every storm which
threatens to engulf us.
In thl noble and patriotic work wo
ask tho cordial and hearty co-operation
of all good citizens. In this grand
work wo need tho helping hand of all
organizations holding tho same view
and principle. We have no tlmo for
jealousies and bickerings, but with a
united front we should march forward,
shoulder to shoulder, romornborlnif
that "United wo stand, divided we fall."
In tho strictest sense, wo are a na
tional political organization, but wo
oppose with unanimity the slightest

The Opinion of a Friend.
Detroit, Mich., August PI, 181)2.
John C, Thompson, Esq., Omaha, Neb,
Dour Friend and Brother: I havo been
very busy slnco I left you, and havo
scarcely had tlmo to sleep. Tho order
Is booming in this state, If tho people
of the cast would see what I have seen
they would tie as much surprised and
astonished a I was to see Nebraska as
it Is, and would know its future.
I wish you, Friend Thompson, could
ho with me for ono month, seo tho peo
ple I see, hear what I hear, and get in
touch with tho masses everywhere,
and It would Incite to even greater
effort that trenchant pen of your. I
trust you will realize moro every day
what a responsible posit ion you (111 as a
moulder of public! opinion. Continue
to bo courageous and fearless and
independent, Strike from the shoulder
strike early and often. Tho day of
tho American press Is coming, Tho
day when 10 per cent, of our population
can control our country and throttle
the press is nearlng Its close, and thoso
fearless writers who have dared to
defy tho alien boycott and tho power of
Home and anarchism will reap their
just, reward. Fraternally yours,
STKt'lIKN Cot.LINH.
